No. It can damage automatic transmissions.

​@@VasKatsaras Can you go rear on dolly with rwd?

I used the standard e82 mounts and made adaptor for the M50. Check my newer vids of the whole install.

M52B28 pistons with m50b25tu rings

Yes. You can put those rods in an m52 b28 or m52b30 stroker As they are 130mm

Yes I did. As I'm planning on running pump fuel I have gone quite wide. 18thou gap

Yes cam carriers are the same minus being larger on the M50. Used the same timing kit with the m54. From what I have been told you can advance the cam if running e85 but I have left mine in the standard position. Planning on alot of punishment

Mainly because finding a good M50 Head is getting almost impossible here in Australia. Plus i get a lot of M52 engines quite cheap as they where abundantly available here.

Yeah I would assume it's from the longer stroke. No issue with the 2.8

Did you have to gap your piston rings

@@drayescobar9469 If you have crank and pistons/rods out anyway you'd be stupid not to get new rings and gap them for the best results. If you're leaving the bottom end untouched then just send it. A lot of people do, but with varying degrees of success.

@@placeholdername3206 i have a m50b25tu that am using m54b30 internals from

hey brother....can i use m50 nv rods to an m52b28 crank and m52b28 pistons?

No. I used all the same sensors and wiring off M52.

Yes, its time to build an engine.

Thank you

Getting there. Content coming soon

Thanks for the visit

Our pleasure!

Thank you my friend.

Expecting around 9.0:1

Thank champ. I used standard m52B28 Springs as i am running the factory CAM trays.

Good tip!

Thank you so much for the feedback. I hope i can keep you entertained while learning something new

The M50NV Rods are 135mm same as the M52B28. The M50TU rods are 140mm. It took a while to measure everything up but it all works. Thank you for your question. Its something i should have addresses in the video.

I go through it in a lot of detail in the series as i was never able to find the information

Video Is Up

You're welcome!

It about 40though over original. Which would normally help lower compression but as the block has been decked and the head resurfaced it's probably back to standard compression

Any specialized bolt place should have them. Just take your original ones with you and they can match them up

Sorry I'm so late on asking this question. The Main cap bolts you said it's 12mm. So you need to change the size of the hole to 12mm on the block. What strength must thr bolt be must it be a 10.9 or 12.9?

No problem 👍

No problem 👍

I feel almost all engines from 92-2005 are pretty much the same, that's why all the parts are interchangeable. Main difference with the S50 is the head design is completely different.

@@VasKatsarasso can you throw a s50 head on a m50 iron block?

I don't really have a parts list but everything is available from ECS tuning online. Thanks to @itsmikelake for the tip on welding the oil pump gear in place. This should stop the oil pump issue. Just don't go overboard on your bearing type. The standard and kolberchmeit bearings are very forgiving. Meaning it won't damage your crank in the event you run out of oil again.

Thank you. Yes you can use the b28 head on the M50 block. The blocks are identical excluding internals and the oil supply for the Vanoss comes externally from the oil filter housing. The vowels are the same in both engines but this springs are different. The M50 springs are wider.

M50 non vanos valves are 7mm like the older m20 , all others after m50 non vanos are 6mm.

How do u 0 ring the block

@@woapaggin6803 you can get a machine shop to do it or do it yourself czcams.com/video/gbWAgi82cOY/video.html

Disadvantage is if something goes wrong with the tune up etc or detonation u will take the head out just use stock OEM gasket with arps it works great u rather have the head gasket go out then destroying the head the gasket is acting as a fuse basically the o ring system or fire ring system is basically making the head one with the block and it puts alot of stress on the center off the head when its clamped down this system is good for drag racing only but for a reliable build that can take punishment stock gasket is best on the bmw m50 and other models of bmw engines in my opinion

​@@prienchutterpaul6638 it makes sense you always want to have a weak point somewhere. For me i rather my driveshaft break than my trans or diff going out it's easier to replace a driveshaft than a transmission that way you get the car going the same day within an hour of it breaking. In the engine id rather replace a gasket than the head so it makes sense to use OEM plus FCP euro will just give you a new one

Yes, we are working on a custom made manifold. So keep a lookout for the vid in the near future.

Thank you my friend. M52tu has some minor differences but I believe most of the stuff should be interchangeable. The exhaust cam will not be able to be used as it will have the vanos on it.

Thank you. How is the build going?

I had to ask the owner. It is a glass and very fine sand.

Next Vid will answer that for you. Thanks champ

Many thanks!

M52 exhaust cam and m54 3.0 intake cam. Just need to do a small modification to the m54 cam

M54 Intake cam with M52 Exhaust cam. The simplest and easiest way to get the power.

​@VasKatsaras Any modifications needed to fit the m52 cam? What's the power output with this setup with the stroker?
